And this continued as soon as I started reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are immediately thrown into the action; in central London, you meet Ash and her friends as they are involved in a bit of a con. It seems to be quite a money maker for the gang, until they select the wrong mark. And, a turn for the worse, as Ash is dragged into conflict with a dangerous London gangster &#8211; or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, this is another brilliant read that I do not want to spoil for you all. However, I can say that something that I thought was excellent about this book is that there are strong, independent female leads. And they are not scared to take on the men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are so many twists and turns in this book that you are not sure who you trust &#8211; and who the characters trust. I just had to keep reading, keen to know what revelation would come next and who was really conning who.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you love a thrilling read (and an adventure), whatever your age, then this is the book for you. So, why not pick up a copy and give it go?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is my stop for this thrilling read on its blog tour, and I can&#8217;t wait to share my thoughts (so I hope you keep reading).
